I know it seems we have differing opinions a lot, Peter 
but...
The number of times a guy has made the All Star Game really shouldn't have much of an impact on a player's chances at the Hall of Fame, especially when every team has to send somebody to the game. Derek Jeter made the All Star Game this year, and as great as he has been throughout his career, he shouldn't have been an All Star this year. The All Star Game is supposed to recognize the best players in Major League baseball that particular season. Jeter was hitting .272 with 2 HR and 25 RBI at the time of the game.
Robin Yount, one of the best shortstops to ever play the game, was voted to the All Star Game only three times in his career. Hell, in 1989, he was the American League MVP, and won a Silver Slugger Award, too. But he wasn't an All Star.
